| Dear Santa: A Wish List from Automotive.com |
Dec 24th, 2012 |
|
We drove more than 100 new cars, trucks, hybrids, SUVs, and crossovers over the past year. Many of them were good, some not so great, and a couple were downright miserable. But when it comes time to picking what we’d want in our own garages, we all have our own pick, one that stands out, [...]

| Behind the Wheel: 2013 Buick Encore |
Dec 24th, 2012 |
|
Confession time here: When we first saw the 2013 Buick Encore at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit last year, we were underwhelmed. The little crossover didn’t wow us the way Buick had surely hoped; instead of looking like a bold masterstroke, a trail-blazing first entry into a new segment of premium [...]

| Lexus Finds New Use for the LF-LC Concept: Santa’s Flying Luxury Cruiser |
Dec 24th, 2012 |
|
Lexus’s stunning LF-LC concept first debuted at the 2012 Detroit auto show, but has since morphed into the very similar LF-LC concept for the Sydney auto show—albeit painted blue. Just in time for the holidays, however, the original red-painted LF-LC is back, and now it’s serving as Santa’s poorly Photoshopped fantasy ride. Playing off of the [...]

Dec 24th, 2012 |

But when you add the term “Hot Rod” into the mix, driving school takes on a whole different connotation. It’s one thing to be able to pass the DMV test and obtain [...]
